Lewis and Harris Sports Council

Lewis and Harris Sports Council is an association of local sports clubs and organisations which works together with Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar and Western Isles Health Board to foster and develop sport in Lewis and Harris. The Sports Council operates through an Executive Committee, which is elected at the Annual General Meeting.
